Strasbourg will seek their first Ligue 1 win after Liam Rosenior’s exit when they welcome Metz to Stade de la Meinau. Both sides are winless in the league in 2026, after draws that left them rooted; Metz at the bottom and Strasbourg seventh. Let’s have a look at the match prediction here.
European football could be slipping away from Strasbourg if they don’t act immediately. Their 1-1 draw with Nice left them six points shy of the top six.
It was the fifth straight winless league outing, and Gary O’Neil has work to do at his new workstation. Generally, though, Strasbourg are unbeaten in six matches, having won four. Their latest was a 6-0 victory at Avranches in the French Cup.
If Strasbourg are in dire need of a league win, Metz are in a worse situation. The bottom-placed side hasn’t had it easy on return to the topflight. T
hey had a mini revival in October to November, but that was it - just three wins, all back-to-back. Heading here, they suffered a 4-0 defeat at home against Montpellier in the French Cup.
That was their fifth defeat in the last seven matches, and they have only won once in the process. Defensively, Metz are the worst in Ligue 1, having conceded 38 goals in 17 matches, while they have lost the joint most (11).
